Apple-Cheddar Soup

This is a 2007 Better Homes and Gardens recipe that I found filed among my 8 or 10 notebooks of recipes I gathered from the Internet, magazines and library cookbooks. It's a handy way to use any leftover cider, but it's also worth buying it just for this recipe. I make a few changes, such as adding more thyme -- one of my favorite herbs and a great perennial -- and cooking the soup a bit longer before adding the flour-milk mixture. I also doubled it so we could enjoy it for a few days; it tastes even better the second day and we like soup as a main course. I've incorporated my changes. I don't remember what I served with this; I'm catching up on posts I meant to make earlier. I'm guessing salad and bread, though.
